CELEBS Go Dating and Gogglebox star Stephen Webb has secretly split from the boyfriend he met through the Channel 4 show.
The Gogglebox legend was blindsided by a shock discovery, months after finding love with the help of the TV dating experts.
He joined the series in the hope of moving on from his six-year marriage to Daniel Lustig which ended earlier this year.
After a number of dates that didn’t go so well he met David, from Guernsey, and the pair hit it off.
In the last episode of Celebs Go Dating he gushed to the experts: “I think there’s something special here.
“It has been phenomenal. I’ve loved every minute of it.
“I didn’t think, for a moment, that I was going to be finishing this journey with a hottie on my arm, celebrating with all the other celebs. I am over the moon.”
After the series ended they made a go of things, with Stephen travelling from his hometown in Brighton to spend time with David in Guernsey.
Then two weeks ago Stephen learned David had been seeing other men while they were dating and he was on a dating app.
Sources told The Sun Stephen was shocked and confronted David straight away.
They told The Sun: “David thought Stephen wouldn’t find out because they lived so far apart and he wanted to carry on seeing other people.
“But Stephen confronted David, and now they’re not speaking.
“It’s definitely over, there’s no going back.
“Stephen is not interested and he wasn’t a fan of the distance anyway.”
Stephen and his ex-husband Daniel announced their split in April.
Daniel and Stephen had privately separated months before the split came to light and remained living together.
Speaking on podcast My Dirty Laundry, Daniel confirmed that despite the break-up, the pair were still living together, and divulged the reason behind the split.
“We had a really good innings,” he said of their marriage.
“It was really good for a really long time and then it kind of petered off, and then we kind of decided the best thing was to end as friends.
“We’re work colleagues, and partners at work as well, and our basis of our relationship has always been friendship as well,” he added.
“We get on better now than we did when we were together, so it’s fine.
“I know for a lot of people they probably can’t understand it, but it has worked out for us.”
Daniel and Stephen are both hairdressers by trade, and together own two salons in West Sussex, as well as their home.
Stephen signed on to star in Celebs Go Dating with Love Island’s Chris Taylor, MAFS UK’s Ella Morgan, Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan and Lauryn Goodman.
Jamelia and Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps completed the cast.
